Former X Factor winners Little Mix have vowed to support their mentor from the show, Tulisa Contostavlos, regardless of what's going on in her personal life.

The N-Dubz star was taken into police custody earlier this month for allegedly arranging a drug deal, but the Little Mix ladies have revealed it's important for them to maintain respect for her after the hard work she put in with them when they worked togther on the popular TV talent show. They told EntertainmentWise: "We talk to her every now and again we will suport her no matter what but it's not really our business to talk about."

The 'Wings' beauties also opened up about their recent trip to the U.S., where they are starting to launch a career, and admitted that they don't feel pressured to change in order to fit in:

"We eat whatever we want. If anything, our U.S. fans who we have gained through YouTube love us for who we are, so when we got there we could be ourselves and if they like us then great.”
